Father sings but I hear you
Father opens his door
Stevie won't get the message and I
Sit here wasting time

I laid here just how you wanted
I laid here while you prayed
I can't seem to imagine life without you here

Callie, won't you forgive me
He said he'd open my eyes
All this business of territory only seems to surprise

For all the lovers and fakers
Those who can't stop
Silence is the voice I miss the most

For all the kidders who kid themselves for anything
For you
Don't call me dear one more time

Pills and letters won't miss me
'Cause I can't carry on this far
My seams have opened a void that can't be filled with
Tears however much I cry

For all the lovers and fakers
Those who can't stop
Silence is the voice I miss the most
For all the kidders who kid themselves for loving you

Don't call me dear

A man so frugal
A philistine right in his mind
A man so frugal

For all the lovers and fakers
Those who can't stop
Silence is the voice I miss the most
For all the kidders who kid themselves for anything
For you
Don't call me dear
